THE ORGAN RECITAL
AT SALISBURY, SEPT. 30, 1887.

AT SALISBURY, SEPT. oU, lSSI.
 A critical and appreciative audience was present at the organ recital given in the Congregational church at Sails bury, Friday afternoon, Sept. 3Oth. The program was listened to with much pleasure by those present. The audi ence was especially delighted by the efforts of Miss Carrie Hine, solo sopra- no, of New Milford. Miss Hine is a pupil of Signor Belari, of New York, who has succeeded in developing her beautiful voice to 8 wonderful degree of perfection. Her first number, 8 Cavitira from "Semiramide, in the horid style, was rendered with marvel ous hexibility of voice and absolute certainty of intonation. The ''Star of Love" by Robandi-in the ballad school-was given with pleasing ex- pression and effective enunciation. Handels immortal -ssAngels ever bright and fair," was interpreted with dignity, and good breadth of tone This selection called forth the sympa- thetic qualities of the lady's voice to a great degree.
 We understand that Miss Hine is soon to appear in opera and oratorio roles if so we predict for this brilli- ant and accomplished vocalist suc- cessful career in the musical and social world.

to the farmer, and when tho last verse was concluded 1t did seem as If some of the old.time holders of the blow would stamp holes in the floor or blister their horny hands. Then came the award of the list being read by H T whose official life as secretary covers over half the life of the society. When all the awards had been amour ced there was rush, and Oh ! what rush, for the galleries of the hall above, in order to forget for brief period the cares of life or the drudgery and bur- dens of the farm, and the demands of church and state, in order to indulge in one of the greatest of all sports, (unless it be yachting and base balD the horse trot, which some years ago were called horse races. The race opened with the free to all class. Three horses, with their respective drivers, appeared while five others disappeared, or did not appear at all. The race was won by F M Dodge, of Pittsfield, "W. K" in three straight heats, with W H Gross, of Lee, Lady Sealskin" second, and E F Bass, of Springfield, "Jack Shep- erd Jr.,' '' third, best time 2.324.
 In the three minute class four came on the track shortly after the bell rang, after three straight heats W H Palmer's "Wilkes Spirit, Jr" was the victor, closely followed by John Stallman' s "Jim Moore" with Lyman Brusie's Robbie" third, ana A l. Phillips, of West Stockbridge, fourth, Time 2.424 The 2.3S class concluded the races. There were in this class but two compe- titors and after close pull, the race was won by Fred J Pratt, of Stock bridge "Marion w." with Edwin Hurl- burt, of Great Burlington, "Ed Wilkes" second. Time 2.55.
 At the conclusion of the race the 46th annual exhibition of the Housatonic Agricultural Society passed into history and with weary limbs, and many of them with empty pocket books, the farmers dispersed to their homes, the lawyers and doctors to their offices, the dent to his books, the editor to his sanctum, and the loafer to his daily occupation while the reporter plunged into the crowd in order to see fight or witness the police as they hurried drunken men to the lookup.
 In the above report many things that were real attractions must remain un. noticed, but we can hardly conclude this hastily prepared letter without speaking of the elegant display ot crockery, lamps and hundreds of fancy articles in that line, made by E D Strong, of Maine street; B B Culver, furniture H O Willard, drugs and con. fectionery Jacob Smith, pianos and organs Prof T A Schurr, stuffed birds all of Great Harrington, made fine dis plays in ther line, which added greatly to the interest of the exhibition. The Wild West show pleased large number and displeased others, but you know ii is hard to suit everybody, and the mana gers feel justified in having each year some amusement outside of the fai1 proper, to draw a crowd.
 In conclusion your special returns thanks to the officers of the society fol their kind attention during the fair, which, as whole, was we'll managed and successful exhibition, unmarred by any serious accident or other unpleas ant event.
